Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords
from my guitar
floating on the silence that surrounds us.
Quiet thoughts & quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams
& a window that looks out on the mountains &
the sea,
oh how lovely
This is where I want to be here with you
so close to me
until the final flicker of life's ember.
I who was lost & lonely believing life was only
a bitter tragic joke, I have found with you,
the meaning of existence, oh my love
This is where I want to be here with you
so close to me
until the final flicker of life's ember.
I who was lost & lonely believing life was only
a bitter tragic joke, I have found with you,
the meaning of existence, oh my love
Antonio Carlos Jobim
1962
